Nijubashimae Station (Japanese: 二重橋前駅, Hepburn: Nijūbashimae-eki), also known as Nijubashimae Station (Marunouchi) (二重橋前駅 〈丸の内〉) is an underground railway station on the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line in Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan, operated by Tokyo Metro. It is close to Nijubashi Bridge and the Tokyo Imperial Palace (though not as close as Sakuradamon Station). Tokyo Station is also within walking distance to/from this station – a passageway containing the Gyoko-dori Underground Gallery links the two stations underground.^[2]

The station is served by the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line, and is numbered C-10.

The Toei Mita Line passes close by, but does not serve this station.

The station is composed of one island platform serving two tracks.

Nijubashimae Station opened on March 20, 1971.

The station facilities were inherited by Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.^[3]

Since 17 March 2018, Nijubashimae Station has been also known as Nijubashimae Station (Marunouchi) as a secondary station name to increase awareness of the station’s location in the Marunouchi area, and to encourage passengers to use the station in conjunction with the surrounding stations.^[4]
